Background & Purpose: The aim of this study is to qualitative and quantitative analyzing the students’ perceived constraints toward involvement in sporting activities in Iranian and Hungarian universities. Methodology: The hierarchical model of leisure constraints was used as the theoretical framework of this research. 1315 students from Iranian public universities as well as 793 students from Hungarian public universities completed a self administrated questionnaire which was translated to Persian and Hungarian language. Also, 60 students from both countries participated in a semi-structured interview. A one sample t test and MANOVA were used for analysis the quantitative data. Also, the qualitative data was analyzed by content analyzing method. Results: The results indicated that Iranian and Hungarian students were differently perceived intrapersonal and structural constraints however, they similarly experienced interpersonal constraints. Furthermore, Iranian female university students more than males experienced all of the categories of constraints whereas Hungarian students did not show any differences based on gender. Conclusion: From the results it can be concluded that different socio-economic situation between Iranian and Hungarian students, regardless of the cultural differences, could be affect the attitude and their tendency to sporting activities. The negative attitude of Iranian people to women sport might be one of the most important factors affect the participation of female students in sport. On the other hand, improving the technology as well as unpleasant economic situation of Hungary and Hungarian universities might be affecting the level of Hungarian students’ involvement in sporting activities.

Background: The aim of this paper was to survey about the relation between social capital and quality of life (QL) among Physical Education teachers.

During the socialization process, children learn that sports are categorized as masculine, feminine, and neutral. The purpose of this research was to study the gender stereotyping of sports from the viewpoint of the physical education teachers of Izeh city. Methodology of research was descriptive survey which was done by field study. Sampling was census method and whole of society was chosen as the statistical sample (N=n=130). The data-collecting tool was a researcher made questionnaire categorizing the sport gender stereotyping of the sports using a five-option Likert scale. Reliability of questionnaire through alpha cronbakh (0. 71). Descriptive statistics were used to investigate the personal characteristics of the teachers, and Chi-square tests was applied to determine the gender stereotyping of sports, while content analysis was used to analyze the answers to open-ended questions. Results demonstrated that physical education teachers perceived sports such as wrestling, weight lifting and boxing to be completely masculine, soccer and throws to be mostly masculine, figure skating, ballet, aerobics, rhythmic swimming, and artistic gymnastic to be mostly feminine, and the rest of the sports to be neutral. Furthermore, they characterized feminine sports with aesthetics, elegance and flexibility, whereas masculine sports were mostly characterized with power, violence and confrontation. Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that most of the traditionally masculine sports are in transition toward neutral, which is most probably due to the increasing participation of the women as well as the way of their coverage by mass media.

Introduction & goal: the aim of this research has been to study the effect of perceived waiting time on evaluating service quality and customer satisfaction in the sport services area (including swimming pool and sport hall) as a case study in Gas National company.

Introduction and aim: Video presentation method is the best model presentation in observational learning. One of the visual variables that practitioners put more emphasis on its effects on observational learning and has not been fully investigated is angle of video presentation. So the purpose of this study is to examine the effect of different angles of video model presentation on acquisition and retention of a novel task. Methods: this study is a semi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design. 60 female university students voluntarily participated in this study and according to their pretest’ s performance score, divided in to 6 homogenous groups Data were analyzed with repeated measure analysis of variance test in α =0. 05 level of significance. Results: result of this study shows the effect of block and angle on acquisition of participant’ s skill, but the effect of angle was not significant; while in retention phase, significant difference was seen among examined angles, in this caseوsubjects of 180 degree group had better performance in retention test. Conclusion: observation learning training, especially observing video model from angle of 0 to 180 degree, due to better observation of movement patterns and better subjects’ imitation of model, lead to performance improvement; while for better learning, observing the movement from angle of 180 degree, due to involvement of subjects in more cognitive and memory processes, can be considered with the aim of learning improvement.

Background: Disturbance in the visual motion perception is the subject that is proposed in related to malfunctions such as attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder and healthy children in visual motion perception tasks. Methods: This was a description of the causal-comparative study. The sample consists of 25 children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder and 25 healthy children were selected with accessible method. The main tests used include of biological motion perception and point light tests of the visual perception tests and s digits spam test of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale to identify the working memory. The way multivariate analysis of variance and independent t-test was used to examine the differences between the two groups and correlated variables was measured. Results: There is the different performance in two groups of children with and without attention deficit in the biological motion perception and point light tests only in noisy conditions with consistency of 50%. Results of the different performances in noisy conditions in both groups showed that is not seen the significant differences in point light and biological motion perception tests in noisy conditions in children group with hyperactivity disorder / attention (p Keys:

Background: One’ s own motor system is activated by viewing and imaging another person performance. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the motor simulation in prediction of interpersonal coordination among jumping rope elite boys. Methodology: An applied research was done as a single-stage case study with 14 jumping rope elite boys (13-18 years). The subjects practiced the jumping rope tasks (jumping rope in different distances and online landing) for four months, until they could do them properly and without any online feedbacks. This study used a Vicon motion analysis device with six infrared cameras capable of 120 frames per seconds to record three-dimensional movements of the legs and rope whirling. Results: The results of one-way ANOVA showed that with enough practice, movement onset time, hand-foot deviation time, timing variation in rope whirling, and landing time of joint groups were equal while a significant difference was observed in movement time and jump height between them (P≤ 0. 05). Conclusion: ) When people simulate a partner’ s performance to do joint coordination, they may be relying on internal models that govern the interpersonal coordination. Indeed by increasing difficulty of task and so by increasing joint task demands, degree of interpersonal coordination would increase.

Background & Purpose: The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of contextual interference on learning simple and complex tasks with indexes difficulty. Method: A number of 56 right handed Yazd university students with a mean age of 22 1. 3years were selected through convenience sampling and were randomly assigned to four groups which differed in scheduled practice and type of task performed (simple and complex). Fitts’ task with different indexes difficulty were designed as software and appeared on a computer monitor. The aim of this task was maximum movement speed and accuracy. The subjects practiced 8 blocks of 8 trails in the acquisition phase and then practiced 1 blocks of 8 trails in the immediate retention phase. In transfer tests, they performed 1 blocks of 8 trails. The data were analyzed by mixed factor ANOVA, two way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test (P Results: The results showed a significant difference between various scheduled practices and type of tasks in different phases of movement speed. Meanwhile there was no significant difference between various scheduled practices of movement accuracy. Conclusion: These findings suggest that contextual interference effect depend on trade of speed and accuracy. The results suggested usage from low contextual interference (blocked scheduled practice) is appropriate in tasks that benefit from the principal of speed and accuracy.

Background & Purpose: DCD is one of the obvious inadequacies of motor skills in children in primary school age. This study aims to examine the effect of sensory-motor integration activities on cognitive variables such as attention and working memory in children with Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCD). Methodology: Hence 20 children with DCD (ages 8-1) who were referred to a rehabilitation center in Kermanshah city were selected as available samples and then randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control group. Then the Continuous Performance test and the Wechsler´ s working memory test were completed as Pre-test. The experimental group practiced for 8 weeks, three 120-minute sessions per week which were included activities such as (swinging, trampoline jumping, spinning around themselves, spinning around the coach, etc). Data were analyzed with Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Leven test, Box test and analyze of covariance. Results: The Results shows, in working memory variable, the effect was significant on both practicing (p=0. 001) and group (p=0. 001). In attention variable, although the effect was significant in practicing (p=0. 002), it was not significant in group (p=0. 056). Conclusion: This pattern of findings suggests the sensory-motor integration activities could promote Attention and Working memory in children with DCD.

Aims: The purpose of this research was effect of instructional and motivational self-talk in covert and overt levels on learning the shape and accuracy of over arm throw in children. Methodology: Participants in this study, 50 female students from primary first and second grade were and were divided randomly in five groups. During 6 sessions, the throwing task was done with the right hand to the target on the wall. In the pre-test and retention test throwing accuracy based on the task Luciana et al. (2012) and the shape of over arm throw based on the list Czech Anderson (1999) criteria evaluated. Participants 24 hours after the last training session, in retention test performed a block of 10 trials from a distance of 3 meters, similar to pre-test conditions. Results: Analysis of variance with repeated measures showed that difference is statistically significant between the accuracy of throw in control, covert instructional self-talk, overt instructional self-talk, covert motivational self-talk, overt motivational self-talk. Covert instructional self-talk group with higher accuracy compared with the overt motivational and instructional self-talk groups. In retention phase, findings of shape of over arm throw showed covert and overt instructional self-talk groups had significantly higher performance compared to the covert and overt motivation self talk and control groups. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study suggest that teachers in teaching basic skills such as throwing pattern, revealing the use of instructional self-talk.
